You will notice when you compare the German and English texts. Will you have an enjoyable time playing the English version as it is, I am pretty sure, but some rules might be used differently. For consistency sake, we are trying to solve these issues and make the English and the German version as close as possible. jI intentionally leave out calling anything "wrong" here since this is no competitive game. Nearly everyone I know plays every RPG system with some house rules, meaning different from others.So there are some obviously wrong translations (Almanac, page 8, the iron edge is 32000 feet high and not 9000 feet), things that got mixed up in layout (e.g., Almanac p. 22, the travel distance table the labels of the first column has moved one down and "Days ride" was lost). But there were also some parts where a paragraph is edited "away" since the things in it seemed redundant, but in detail were not.We are looking at these things and improving them in the books that are released now. We now include all known errata of the German books in the English version, so we hope to have an even better product in the end. As an example, in Magic of Aventuria, we fixed about 100 errata of the German book. In the Gods of Aventuria, it was about the same. A bunch of those are also clarifications where things are harder to understand then they should be. In other cases, they were factually wrong, but only people with attention to detail would notice them. One example is improving the chance of success by 5%, which is different from adding 5 percentage points to the probability of success (in the first example 20% would go to 21%, in the second to 25%). I think everyone would do the right thing since you roll a d20, and each increase by one is 5 percentage points, but factually it would be wrong to write "the chance of success increases by 5%".Sorry, this was a long text, in the end, we are striving to bring great products to the English speaking community <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /></blockquote>
